1309 5 Avenue,

Manhattan, NY 10029

Recently remodeled buildings
New exterior renovations improved heating / cooling somewhat
Most units have balconies
New gym is enough to get the job done
Laundry room app lets you see available machines (in theory)

Low quality “flipper” caliber fixtures and finishes in the newly renovated units. Eg peel and stick vinyl faux gray wood flooring.
Despite exterior insulation, the buildings are sweltering in the summer and freezing in the winter. Last winter I struggled to get above 65°
Gym is small and people are so rude and inconsiderate
Laundry room is constantly filthy. Room is shared between both buildings (2x 35 floors = 500+ units sharing the laundry room)
The building mgmt was a complete joke. Alexandra and Carol had no idea what they were doing. Totally disorganized. Completely non-responsive to tenant issues. Building maintenance was incompetent and repairs needed to be re-done multiple times
The lobby ceiling is constantly leaking — even after months of construction
Some of the long-term rent-stabilized tenants are aggressive toward the market rate tenants

Fire everyone and start over.

conveniently located near the park

heat never worked, constant construction, terrible building management, would never live here again never got a week of peace each day was new

Stop being reactive and try being proactive
